During the Christmas season, try adding a Hershey’s candy cane kiss on top and a swirl of peppermint frosting for a festive twist.

- Semisweet chocolate: Be sure to use bars of chocolate instead of chocolate chips. They melt more smoothly.

- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Sugar: Granulated sugar works best for today’s recipe.
- Eggs: Allow the eggs to come to room temperature before using.
- Salt
- Flour: All-purpose flour works best for brownies.
Step by Step Directions

- Melt the chocolate and butter together, then stir in the cocoa powder.
- Whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Add the chocolate and whisk to combine.
- Gently stir in the flour using a silicone whisk.
- Divide the batter between 12 mini-muffin cups that have been well greased.

Tips For Success
- For perfect brownies every time, invest in a quality non-stick cupcake pan! When I first started experimenting with recipes, I struggled with brownies sticking to the pan. I thought it was the recipe itself, but a simple upgrade to a better mini-muffin pan made all the difference!
- Pro tip: Always wash your non-stick pans by hand. The harsh detergents in dishwashers can damage the coating and ruin your bakeware’s performance. Keep your pans happy, and they’ll keep your brownies delicious!
- Just bake it through! The secret to achieving the perfect moist brownie bites lies in using a generous amount of butter and avoiding overbaking. When testing for doneness, it’s perfectly fine to have a crumb or two on your toothpick; just steer clear of any runny batter. Happy baking!
- Patience is key when it comes to brownie bites! Resist the urge to dig in too soon—if you take them out before they’ve cooled for at least 10 minutes, they’ll fall apart.
